Thanks for the plug, guys!
SSD is right. I don't want to speculate on the reasons why Barton turned it down, but their loss is Liverpool Flying School's gain!
Yup, it's available at LFS for £98.50 per hour + instructor + landings. It's not heavily booked up (which is nice for me 'cos it's usually available when I want to fly it). There's a couple of good instructors there who will teach you.
Alternatively, we were considering some w/e bisits to Barton if there was enough interest from the grass roots flyers to warrant it, but again, to do that regularly, I need to clear it with t'Committee, and I just don't have the time these days to do that (very busy workwise right now).
